artificial

I posted this on CPUK forum but i am trying to get as much info on this as possible so those who have already read this...forgive me:-) I grow my plants in terrarium but this contribution to the forum is not as much about terraria as it is about artificial feeding of CPs so if needed please move...

The Three Little Pings Once upon a time, in a far away land, three little Pings lived peacefully, in a small sphagnum bog. The three pings used to hang out a lot together. The first little ping was named Maury, the moranensis. The second was Lauri, the Laueana. And last but certainly not...

Will bolivian rams nip at, tear, shred, uproot, move, or otherwise inflict harm upon aquarium plants? I was thinking of getting a couple for my planted tanks and wanted to know what to expect. I've had an oscar and a severum many yrs ago and remember how they were with even artificial plants...

I recently moved from a house to an apartment, wherein I went from an old rickety iron shelf system on a South Facing Window that gave good enough light all day, to an Eastern facing window that gives light from 1-2 PM to 5-7PM. While my plants seem to be mostly doing fine -- The Adelae didn't...

(1) (2) The seedlings all came from the same batch. The seeds from pic #1 were kept in storage for a few weeks while the seedling in pic #2 was the result of immediate sowing. Observations: #1 sprouted first and had several strikes. #2 took longer to germinate. #1 germinated under...

I don't have a bog and I have two Sarracenias that are growing under natural and artificial light. I live in Baltimore, Maryland and our winters usually dip down into the teens for at least a few weeks. I can see myself watching the news every night and taking the plants inside and then...

The past week has been one that I won't forget in a long time. During vacation I planned to update my original post as I went though the days. That quickly surfaced to be quite difficult. There was simply too much that I wanted to share, I couldn't put it to words fast enough and be ready for...

D. x hybrida MacFarlane (photographed in habitat by Fernando Rivadavia, ref. http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27388) Often, there is a story behind the find; here's the one that goes with this plant. Back in the early 1970's, I would often take my wife and young son to Bass...

Hey guys, Back in the mid to late 1990's I heard from an old friend of mine in Virginia (USA) that he was going to sell his house and retire. He had a small pond in his property in which he had the Japanese (both Kyoto and Tokyo mixed) strains of Aldrovanda growing, and was going to be drained...

In Stewart McPherson's book "Pitcher Plants of the Americas" he make the statement that the overwhelming majority of H. nutans in cultivation are not H. nutans. He says that in fact they are actually either hybrids with H. glabra or artificial crossbreeds produced by horticulturists. So, my...

I'm new to CPing but I've studied the hobby very intensely for the past month or so, read 3 books on it and read lots of the posts in this forum as well online articles about CPs. I bought a Low Giant VFT about 2 weeks ago. It's newest leaves/traps are wrinkled and the trap part is kind of oval...

Alright. So I've got about... I'd say 30 Darlingtonia (If I split up some clumps) with more on the way. I want to plant them on the bank of the little creek at our cabin in the mountains. I was going to plant them directly in the soil that's already there, but I've got a BUTTLOAD of peat that...

I have several plants on the way, but perhaps the plants in which I know the least about are the following: Drosera intermedia var. 'Mount Roraima' Drosera graminifolia Now I do know the basics... neither of these species requires dormancy and both can easily be grown under my 6 T12 artificial...

If you live in colder regions and bring your sarracenia out of dormancy rather than let mama nature do it in a few months, how do you keep 'em alive? This is not going well and I'm sure that light is the problem. I have nice new growth start and then the pitcher gets soft and "grassy" feeling...

Hey people Im new to this forum. I was never really a plant person and never had any plants of my own until last year. We were having a problem with gnats where I work in an office, and half-jokingly I was talking about getting a venus fly trap. It was funny because most of the people that I...
